It IS very very frustrating.
There is an epidemic of Crappy thyroid care/treatment going on out there. And I’m smack in the middle of the hellish experiences I’ve read about over the years. It really sucks.
But you keep fighting because what other options are there? I can’t expect that this as good as I can feel.

I’m not really strong enough for impressive dl/squat/bench but I was thinking of trying to see how many reps I can get out of old 1RMs.

I haven’t looked at it in a while because I don’t do much in the way of impressive weight. I’ve lost a tad of strength here lately

Someone recommended figuring out how much you could lift for 20 reps then add 20% more and give it a try.

It’s one big hospital now. They closed down the old Walter Reed hospital and Bethesda is now Walter Reed. That’s not confusing.
I’m on the fence about it. What is going to make these Dr’s any different? It’s like they are all taught to think/act/say the same things.
Maybe I should present my ‘case’ in a factual/science-y manner. Show up with pie charts and spreadsheets. [/quote]
You will never know how much I agree with you 100%
Egads!!! I may give it a whirl next week. The only reason I’m confident in 2x bw for a single is because i suddenly only weight 130

re: Widowmakers – the weight doesn’t matter, it’s not a contest. Effort counts!
I just squatted for the first time in almost a year (been front squatting) trying to even figure out about what my 10 rep max would be. I think I have a number in mind for the 20.
Get it!

Only on TNation could a “Sex Forum” turn into, well, a clusterfuck.
I don’t really go in there, but enough people complain about it (versus how they used to rave about it) these days that it must pretty trollish.

My dad had surgery to have his thyroid removed once and he doesn’t even know what his condition was called. He takes his synthroid dosed to give him a 1.5 TSH and no doc has ever told him what’s up with his body.

You always have the funniest lolcats…sometimes I hope for one when I see you’ve posted last in this thread.
My husband finally got results back from his MRI. He’s been walking around for MONTHS with a full ACL tear. go HIM!
DR’s SUUUUUUUCK. He had to BEG for a an xray and then BEG for an MRI.
ScJ- 1.5 is still kinda high, no??
I want to see if I could feel better @ below 1 tsh, with a high T3…but no dr I’ve spoken with agrees or is willing to try.
^^^ very dependent on the person. Some people feel fine at TSH of 2, some need it below 1. You really need to dose thyroid meds by symptoms not lab scores.
edit - but yea 1.0 is typically considered about ideal

I still wonder by like a old guy driving thru his old ghetto torn neighborhood. For those that have not been in a while allow me.
Imagine a Imagine a rabid Mad Monkey with the worst case of diarrhea on earth locked in a cage flinging poo at light speed. Well the Poo slingers are making Threads.
And the rest are just lining up for the poo fest or responding or watching.
Either way its a poo fest.

Have you posted in TRT/HRT?

The professional reference that I PM’d you posts in there. It’s close enough to topic that you might get some good suggestions for other places to look, references to read, etc.

Makes me glad I haven’t opened up a thread there recently to even know what’s going on. I feel like some of the SAMA regulars are an elitist click almost, which sounds completely preposterous for a forum like that but it is what it is. Even back when I last posted there, some of the stuff said was really condescending.
